Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Peoples’ use of, and concerns about, green space networks: A case study of Birchwood, Warrington New Town, UK [PDF]

, 2010
Cultural services provided by green space networks and in particular leisure and recreational opportunities are central to the quality of life of those living in urban areas. However, the literature concerned with green space networks has mainly focussed

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

A Fuzzy FMEA-Resilience Approach for Maintenance Planning in a Plastics Industry

International Journal of Prognostics and Health Management
The productivity and efficiency of industrial systems are highly affected by failures and machine breakdowns. Further, in asset-intensive industries, unexpected failures are considered the primary source of operational risk.

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

TOWARDS DEVELOPING A NOVEL FRAMEWORK FOR PRACTICAL PHM: A SEQUENTIAL DECISION PROBLEM SOLVED BY REINFORCEMENT LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

International Journal of Prognostics and Health Management, 2019
The heart of prognostics and health management (PHM) is to predict the equipment degradation evolution and, thus, its Remaining Useful Life (RUL). These predictions drive the decisions on the equipment Operation and Maintenance (O&M), and these in turn ...
